'Project 7', rival match...35 Survivors in Black-and-White War of Nervousness

We analyzed the situation of the black and white teams, which will clash with MONSTA X, Stray Kids, Tomorrow X Together, and RIIZE's representative songs on JTBC's "PRODUCT 7."

JTBC's "PRODUCT 7" is Korea's first new concept idol audition program that introduces the concept of "assembly and reinforcement" in which viewers become "World Assembly" and select participants by round from the first vote, form a new team, and grow their favorite participants through the process. In the sixth episode of "PRODUCT 7," which aired on the 15th, 70 trainees who survived entered a "rival match" with a 50% survival rate, starting a bloody war.

In particular, the "Rival Match" shocked 14 people who assembled each team by dividing teams into seven, with the highest-ranking trainees in the team forming a "white team" with the songs they wanted and trainees, and the rest of the trainees who were not selected becoming a "black team." Moreover, the trainees of the "Black Team" burst their emotions toward the "White Team" as a result of their failure to be selected, causing tension.

In this regard, the performances of the black team (Choi Joo-young, Kim Tae-yu, Jeongden Hae-sol, Heo Woo-kwan, Oh Tae-hwan, Pet, Kwon Yang-woo) and the white team (Eichen, You Young-seo, Nam Ji-woon, Andy, Fukuyama Sota, Ahn Jun-won, and Linlin), which chose NCT's representative songs, are drawing questions about what will happen to the black and white teams of the remaining four assemblies.

The black team (Lee Kun-woo, Ayaron Adam, Baek Ji-ho, Ha Seok-hee, Kim Do-hoon, Kim Joo-hyun, and Kim Hyun-jae), which covers RIIZE's representative songs, sang Memories, but there was a conflict from the main vocal selection and part distribution due to many members with strong vocals. As the conflict continued due to Ha Seok-hee, who complained even though he voted, attention was paid to what the black team's stage would be like. Baek Team (Kwon Yong-hyun, Yoo Ji-an, Kotaro Asaka, Kim Young-hoon, Song Hyung-seok, Chae Hee-joo, and Park Joon-woo), who chose "Boom Boom Bass," had a nerve war between the center and the solo dance section to show off their dance skills. In the end, Chae Hee-joo, who made a mistake in the process of selecting the center, shed tears and expressed regret, and Yoo Ji-an, who became the center, shed tears together under heavy responsibility, causing regret.

The black team (Oh Seung-chan, Yeom Ye-chan, Sviat, Santa, Pang Attila, Woo Ha-joon, and Ma Jingxiang), which will sing MONSTA X's flagship song "GAMBLER," has seen a number of team members who seem to have given up overall because their team members, who were not close to them, have no choice. In response, Majing Xiang emphasized the importance of practice to leader Woo Ha-joon, and continued to practice alone, causing concerns among team members around him. Team members of the black team are paying attention to whether they can be united. On the other hand, the back team (Kenshin Sakurada, Kim Hyun-woo, Seo Jin-won, Lee Han-bin, Shin Jae-won, Kim Sung-min, and Kim Jung-min) who chose "Jealousy" expressed confidence that Kenshin Sakurada, the center of "Title Song," assembled the team members himself and that it was a perfect balance with dance, song, visual, and rap. Kim Sung-min, who was slow to dance after setting up Kim Hyun-woo, who suffered an injury, as the center, showed his superior ability and was confident of an overwhelming victory.

The black team (Yoo Hee-do, Shim Si-woo, Park Chan-yong, Jung She-yoon, Park Joon-seo, Kang Min-seo, and Kim Si-hoon) of "CASE 143," which covers Stray Kids, was confident of their extraordinary competitiveness with a number of experienced idol groups. Park Joon-seo and leader Kim Si-hoon, who received the dance MVP in the position match, practiced leisurely and quickly, raising expectations. In response, Baek (Jeon Min-wook, Kang Hyun-woo, Jang Yeo-jun, Seo Kyung-bae, Song Seung-ho, Binghwa, and Abe Yu-ra) who chose "Rock" faced a crisis as main vocalist Kang Hyun-woo was unable to sing in the early stages of vocal cord nodules, although Jeon Min-wook, who was the No. 1 player in the "first round of combined ceremony," formed a team of high-ranking trainees and Seo Kyung-bae knew the choreography.

Assembly A5, which will cover the representative songs of TOMORROW X TOGETHER, was pointed out as the weakest by everyone due to its low average ranking. The black team (Kang Wang-seok, Lee Ji-hoon, Eom, Kwon Ye-woong, Jung Seung-won, Obayashi Yuusei, and Uchenyu), who took charge of "Deja Vu," led the dance by Kang Wang-seok and Obayashi Yuusei, but the choreography progress was slow due to Jung Seung-won, who had never learned to dance or sing, and Jung Seung-won said from the directors in the interim evaluation, "You're damaging me. I got a rant from other kids now."

However, the masters expressed their expectations for the results by announcing an unconventional benefit, which would be an opportunity for the lowest-ranking trainees. Baek Team (Ok Chang-hyun, Cho Hyo-jin, Kim Ji-min, Oh Young-woong, Kang Ji-min, Kim Joon-woo, and Lee Eun-seo), who chose "I will prove that it is not the weakest team," caused concern with a dark expression and an unexcited attitude even though it was a refreshing song. Moreover, in the interim evaluation, he was criticized for "Did you fight each other" and "I think I can just go home," raising anxiety about whether he could stand on the stage.

Attention is focusing on which team will win the black team and white team of the "Rival Match" and win 70,000 points of benefits.

JTBC's "PRODUCT 7" airs every Friday at 8:50 p.m.
